From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,  Much pleasure, then from thee much more, must flow,  And soonest our best men with thee do go,  Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery. Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men, And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,  And poppy, or charms, can make us sleep as well,  And better than thy stroke. Why swell'st thou then? One short sleep past, we wake eternally,  And Death shall be no more: Death, thou shalt die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8096</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As you can not do what you wish, you should wish what you can do. [Lat., Quoniam id fieri quod ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61792]]></link><description><![CDATA[As you can not do what you wish, you should wish what you can do. [Lat., Quoniam id fieri quod vis non potest  Id velis quod possis.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61792</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you can't believe your eyes, you can always trust your heart.

The passage of Scripture which subdued and controlled my mind was this, "The servant of the Lord must not strive." It was painful indeed to see the church, with the exception of the aisles, almost forsaken; but I thought that if God would only give a double blessing to the congregation that did attend, there would on the whole be as much good done as if the congregation were doubled and the blessing limited to only half the amount. This comforted me many, many times, when, without such a reflection, I should have sunk under my burden.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But now we have bought the film back and it will be shown in Paris in the original version for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32687]]></link><description><![CDATA[But now we have bought the film back and it will be shown in Paris in the original version for the first time in the next couple of months.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32687</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good health and good sense are two of life's greatest blessings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18930]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good health and good sense are two of life's greatest blessings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who grasps an opportunity as it is paraded before him, nine times out of ten makes a success, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45053]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who grasps an opportunity as it is paraded before him, nine times out of ten makes a success, but the man who makes his own opportunities is, barring an accident, a sure-fire success]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45053</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All things are God's already; we can give him no right, by consecrating any, that he had not before, only ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7461]]></link><description><![CDATA[All things are God's already; we can give him no right, by consecrating any, that he had not before, only we set it apart to his service -- just as a gardener brings his master a basket of apricots, and presents them; his lord thanks him, and perhaps gives him something for his pains, and yet the apricots were as much his lord's before as now.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anything that happens is a jolt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37422]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anything that happens is a jolt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The one you love and the one who loves you are never, ever the same person. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65674]]></link><description><![CDATA[The one you love and the one who loves you are never, ever the same person.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Wyclif, Reformer, 1384  While sitting on the bank of a river one day, I picked up ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7219]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Wyclif, Reformer, 1384  While sitting on the bank of a river one day, I picked up a solid round stone from the water and broke it open. It was perfectly dry in spite of the fact that it had been immersed in water for centuries. The same is true of many people in the Western world. For centuries they have been surrounded by Christianity; they live immersed in the waters of its benefits. And yet it has not penetrated their hearts; they do not love it. The fault is not in Christianity, but in men's hearts, which have been hardened by materialism and intellectualism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's been a little wear and tear from the travel.

Probably all you'll think about him is that he seemed a cheerful, intelligent chap who took a real interest in what you said to him. If you do dislike him, it will be because you feel a bit envious of anyone who seems to enjoy life so easily. He won't be thinking about himself at all. There I must stop. If anyone would like to acquire humility, I can, I think, tell him the first step. The first step is to realize that one is proud. And a biggish step, too. At least, nothing whatever can be done before it. If you think you're not conceited, it means you are very conceited indeed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Charity sees the need, not the cause. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5738]]></link><description><![CDATA[Charity sees the need, not the cause.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowledge rests not upon truth alone, but upon error also. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1112]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowledge rests not upon truth alone, but upon error also.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This will eliminate the need for the tent and free up more space in the hog and sheep barns. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34128]]></link><description><![CDATA[This will eliminate the need for the tent and free up more space in the hog and sheep barns.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34128</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I slept and dreamed that life was Beauty; I woke, and found that life was Duty:--  Was thy dream ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13058]]></link><description><![CDATA[I slept and dreamed that life was Beauty; I woke, and found that life was Duty:--  Was thy dream then a shadowy lie?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better to be without logic than without feeling. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25434]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better to be without logic than without feeling.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14820]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's always a shot in the locker. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51036]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's always a shot in the locker.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51036</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Power tires only those who do not have it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35819]]></link><description><![CDATA[Power tires only those who do not have it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe this payola scandal may represent the most widespread and flagrant violation of any FCC rules in the history ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38985]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe this payola scandal may represent the most widespread and flagrant violation of any FCC rules in the history of American broadcasting.
